    I really hope you guys like this, it took just over 1 month to put this together. I recone most of you guys will only know 1 plane on this list out of the 5 main planes on the list. I really enjoy it when the all the hard work comes together and you guys like my videos :D
    Thank you for continuing to support me.

Like being in a crappy mood because someone cut you off in traffic, or getting irritated because ya gotta "go outside and shovel the driveway...Ill miss the first 10 minutes of the game...this sucks!" Yea, that guy bailed out of a plane due to enemy aircraft fire. Hell, his chute may not have even opened, he may not even had a chute to begin with! Or if he did, he may have been killed by the same plane that shot his plane down! Sorry...I got rambling...

    The He-219 at 15.27 is in RAF markings, as are most of the other planes on that airfield. Presumably this was captured at the end of the war and being evaluated. By Eric "Winkle" Brown no doubt -he seemed to have flown most of the Luftwaffe stuff - even a Salamander I believe.

    The glue for the He 162 was perfected, & Eric Brown flew the He 162 often.
    Here is the impression of the He 162 flown by Captain Eric Brown from "Wings of the Luftwaffe"
    ...the aircraft had excellent directional snaking characteristics making it a good gun platform. From this aspect it was the best jet fighter of it's time, and I was certainly in a position to judge, having flown every jet aircraft then in existence. A check on the rate of roll at 400 mph revealed the highest that I had ever experienced outside of the realm of hydraulically-powered ailerons, and the stick force demanded to produce these exhilarating gyrations was delightfully light. Leveling off at 12,000 feet I settled down to another spell of the pleasures of the phenomenal roll rate of this delightful little aeroplane ... I had never met better flying controls ... Even if somewhat underpowered it had a good performance - it could certainly have run rings around the contemporary Meteor. I was to fly the little aeroplane quite frequently.

    You can see a pair of those glide bomb/mothership/mistel planes at RAF Cosford, just outside of Birmingham UK. Entry's free. You can see the mountings on the Fw 190 and Ju 88. The museum also holds a range of late-war German guided missiles, all 3 'V' Bombers and a number of experimental aircraft such as TSR2 and EAP.

    • @Wombat1916
      @Wombat1916 5 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      JammyTurtle The TSR2 was NOT an experimental aircraft. It was going to be a replacement and vast improvement over for the Hawker Hunter FGA9 (I seem to recall) but the new Labour government cancelled it, along with the HS681 and the P1154 in 1964.
      After the Defence White Paper of 1957 and this cancellation the aircraft industry never properly recovered and most if not all aircraft produced for front-line service were collaborations with other countries.
      One of the aircraft cancelled in 1957 was another supersonic Hunter replacement. It was in the same class as the Phantom. and would have sold to the countries who bought the Hunter. Around 5,000 Phantoms were built and quite a few exported!

    • @locutus155

  • @jpsholland
    @jpsholland 4 ปีที่แล้ว +1

    The Mosquito is NOT build of wood because shortage in aluminium. This is a popular misconception. The Mosquito was a ground attack aircraft and was developed to attack those nasty V1 launch ramps which were spread all over the belgium and especially the dutch coastal areas. It was designed to have a very fast low altitude speed. It was made of wood because the metal which was left in the plane was to little to be seen by the radars of the day. Wood did not return the radar signal so well. When it did, the aircraft was already in ttack range. So actually, the Havilland Mosquito was worlds first stealth aircraft.

    The HE-162's official name was Spatz (Sparrow) and was also known as
    Salamander. Volksjagger was the concept behind the aircraft. it was only good for up to 10 flights and the Hitler Youth was supposed to be tapped for flying them after only about a dozen hours of glider time.

      Heinkel didn't provide Hitler with any financial support during his rise to power so was mostly ignored by the Air Ministry when shown their new novel designs. Heinkel designed, made and flew Germany's first jet aircraft in 1940 with the Air Ministry showing no interest since Willy was working on one.

    @chrisanderson6204 4 ปีที่แล้ว

    The Jumo 004 was a revolutionary engine, but without access to exotic metals, Junkers was forced to build high temp and high rotational velocity components, particularly turbine blades, from stainless steel, and TBO was a mere 20 hrs. The 162 was built primarily from wood, and high speeds incumbent with jet power did result in a lot of structural failures. If it and the 262 could have been built in quantity earlier in the war, the outcome may have been different, or at least the war may have been dragged out longer. Thank God that was not the case. I enjoyed this video, to as an 40 year aircraft mechanic and WW II air war buff, I was familiar with all of them. Thank you for not using a computer voice for narration.

      @@leneanderthalien A P47 only could a ME262 to catch when she is approaching its air base. When it was in the air, no fighter with a piston engine had a chance to catch it. The weak point with the first jets was that they had to make a long slow landing approach. The Germans always had to send a few F190 when the ME262 returned from operations to secure their landing. At the end of the war, however, they hardly had any petrol for the F190, so they had to do without them more and more often.

    The production He-100 would have used a radiator in a pod underfuselage similar to the Hurricane. The problem was Willy Messeschmitt was a prominent Nazi party member and Heinkel was not. Heinkel was told to quit wasting resources on fighters. Messerschmitt was to build fighters, Heinkel was to build bombers. IMHO He-100D was a better fighter than the comparable Me-109E. Germany wound up selling off most of the He-100 prototypes. Several went to Soviets, a couple went to Japan where the design was not copied but studied closely to help Japan design the similar Ki-61 Hien.

    A local Yokel from only 20 miles away from where I'm sitting (Charlie Scherf, RAAF, Emmaville NSW, Oz...) was flying a Gun-Nosed DH Mosquito in 1943 when he found a Zwilling in his Gunsights, and he got a Medal for shooting it down....
    There was a panel about him in the Museum in my home town ("Land Of The Beardies History House & Museum", Glen Innes, 2370 NSW, Oz) when I was growing up, in the 1970s.

    Biggest problem with evaporative cooling in a military application is its total inability to withstand ANY battle damage. The reclaim rate often didn't stand up to the demands in operation with air locks that resulted in fatal overheating and fires. Messerschmitt made good compromises in aircraft like the Bf110 that had cooling inlets for oil coolers and air intakes faired into the wing leading edge .
